Integrating Oracle and Data Protector

Configuring the Integration

IMPORTANT	On UNIX, it is possible that although the GUI check returns a successful
	result, you may still receive the error 12:8300 when trying to start a
	backup session. Such a backup session will not start. For more
	information, see “Troubleshooting” on page 116.
